## Performance Optimization
|
|
|
|
### Context Management
|
|
|
|
Managing context effectively can significantly improve response quality and reduce costs.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip "Use Context Compression"
|
|
Install the [Async Context Compression](../plugins/filters/async-context-compression.md) filter to automatically manage long conversations.
|
|
|
|
#### Best Practices
|
|
|
|
1. **Clear Old Conversations**: Archive or delete old chats to keep your interface clean
|
|
2. **Use Focused Conversations**: Start new chats for new topics
|
|
3. **Leverage System Prompts**: Set clear boundaries and focus areas
|
|
4. **Monitor Token Usage**: Keep track of context length
|
|
|
|
### Model Selection
|
|
|
|
Choose the right model for your task:
|
|
|
|
| Task Type | Recommended Approach |
|
|
|-----------|---------------------|
|
|
| Quick questions | Smaller, faster models |
|
|
| Complex analysis | Larger, more capable models |
|
|
| Creative writing | Models with high temperature |
|
|
| Code generation | Code-specialized models |
|
|
